About Shih-ti Yü Kang Lighthouse

Also known as: Shih-ti Yü Kang (South Breakwater)

This 12-meter square concrete post serves as a navigational aid on the south breakwater of Shih-ti, a fishing harbor in Hualien County, Taiwan. The structure includes a 1-story concrete equipment shelter at its base. It emits a single green flash, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. An unlit, identical tower stands nearby on another section of the breakwater, presenting a curious architectural feature. The lighthouse is located 29.8 kilometers from Hualien Port.

Why it matters: The green light aids local fishing vessels in safely entering Shih-ti harbor, a small but significant center for the community in Hualien County, along a challenging coastline.
